Trial passenger rail service to begin April 9

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

And we especially should not tell anyone where the ''ticket office '' is , or even the internet site or phone number so one can book a ticket in advance.

From what I saw about two or three days before HE turned up was a lot of the shite had been cleared from around the station, including some more of the shacks, so the entry to the station is fairly obvious now. Still no big sign, though. But yeah, it's right by the port, although I wouldn't call that central. Route 4 into SHV, on the right just before the port entrance.

Oh yeah, the guys from Sokimex told me that you will be able to take your car for ten dollars. Presumably there's facilities for this as they can get containers on and off, maybe they hoist it onto the flatbed.

I didn't get a price for that, they were more enthusiastic about the car thing. If KM pulls his finger out of his arse and hooks up his low loaders he'll make more money, I think at $7 a ticket you need to add some more options for it to make some decent dosh. Like somewhere to drink beers and smoke fags.

Great pics! Can you stay in your car, or you gotta buy tickets for yourself too?
